- nonionic surfactants which may be used as components of the surfactant systems herein include ethoxylated nonionic surfactants, glycerol ethers, glucosamides, glycerol amides, glycerol esters, fatty acids, fatty acid esters, fatty amides, alkyl polyglucosides, alkyl polyglycol ethers, polyethylene glycols, ethoxylated alkyl phenols and mixtures thereof.
